In the afternoon of the Xth day of the Xth month, humans observed a large fireball descending towards the western side of Youkai Mountain. As the ruins on that side of the mountain are inaccessible to both youkai and humans, confirmation of its true form was very difficult. However, without sound or impact, it was clear that it was no ordinary meteorite.

There were also reports of a giant over ten shaku (= three meters) tall being sighted in the foothills soon after the fireball landed. There are rumors that the fireball was actually an UFO and the giant was an alien riding it. The giant was called "the ten-shaku alien".

As you can see from the picture, the true form of the fireball was a flying wooden vessel, and the ten-shaku alien was a nue (name: Houjuu Nue). While their true natures could not be discerned by the naked eye, spirit photography revealed the truth. I tried to interview her.

「ただ探し物をしていただけよ？ 飛倉の破片を全部集めろって言われたんでね。それにしてもどうして私の正体が判ったの？」

"I was just out searching for something. I was told to collect the pieces of the flying vault. But forget that; how did you figure out my true form?"

火の玉UFOも十尺の宇宙人も、ただ単に人を寄せ付けない様に演出していたのだという。

The fireball and ten-shaku alien were just an act to keep people away.

"I was just trying to look like a "scary unidentified object". I heard people were starting to say there was an alien running around beforehand, so that rumor just kind of ended up making me out to be that alien on its own. But, a 10 shaku tall alien, you say?"

As someone with the ability to make objects unidentifiable, she explained that so-called "urban legends" are born from such rumors. That is, you can make up rumors about the true nature of anything, since you cannot confirm their nature. Those could then give birth to an new entity, just like the one created by this incident.

Judging how the alien is approximately 3.03 meters tall or 9.942 feet tall and appeared after the landing of a fireball-shaped UFO, it seems that Nue modeled herself after the Flatwoods monster.

According to the date of the article, Nue claimed to be searching for pieces of the flying vault even though it was longer than one year and a half after the spring of 2009, which was the time of Undefined Fantastic Object.
